Gibson played only two periods of Friday's 6-1 loss to the Sharks due to an illness, Lisa Dillman of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson was not available for the third period after giving up four goals on 19 shots. The Ducks weren't able to cover the damage, giving him the loss. He's at 5-13-3 with a 3.99 GAA and an .894 save percentage in 21 starts this season. The severity of his illness isn't known, but he'll have two full days to recover before the Ducks visit the Senators on Monday.

Gibson will get the starting nod at home against the Sharks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson's struggles have continued into December as he's allowed seven goals in two starts this month. The veteran netminder is now 5-12-3 with an unsightly 3.92 GAA and .897 save percentage on the year. He's been slightly better at home, posting a .909 save percentage through nine such outings.

Gibson allowed three goals on 37 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson let three leads slip away in the contest, but he wouldn't get a chance to blow a fourth one, as Ryan Strome netted the game-winning goal in overtime. This was the second time in his last five games that Gibson has faced fewer than 40 shots, as the Ducks' leaky defense continues to make him busy at the back. The 29-year-old improved to 5-12-3 with a 3.92 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 20 starts this season. The Ducks wrap a home stand Friday versus the Sharks.

Gibson will guard the home goal in Tuesday's game versus the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson will get a fairly tough assignment here after losing three straight games (0-1-2) with 11 goals allowed on 109 shots. The 29-year-old netminder has been alternating with Anthony Stolarz lately, but neither of the Ducks' goalies can be considered a safe fantasy play behind a porous defense.

Gibson turned aside 43 shots during Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the host Wild.

EDGE Analysis

For the third time in four appearances, Gibson guarded against at least 41 shots Saturday. Since his Nov. 23 start against the Rangers, Gibson has faced 152 shots, yielding 13 goals. The defensive lapses have played a role in the Ducks dropping five straight games (0-3-2). During Saturday's shootout, Gibson allowed two of three Wild skaters to score.

Gibson will start on the road Saturday against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson is coming off a 39-save effort in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to Nashville. He has a 4-12-2 record this season with a 3.99 GAA and an .894 save percentage. Gibson gave up four goals on 39 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Wild on Nov. 9.

Gibson turned aside 39 of 41 shots during Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the host Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Opening a four-game road trip Tuesday, Gibson started after suffering an undisclosed injury Sunday. The 29-year-old netminder entered Tuesday leading the NHL in saves (519) and he was tested often again by the hard-pressing Predators. In 18 starts, Gibson has faced at least 40 shots six times. On Tuesday, he amassed 31 saves through 40 minutes. Gibson, who has earned one win in his past six starts, fell to 4-12-2.

Gibson will guard the road goal Tuesday in Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson exited Sunday's game versus the Kraken with an injury in the third period, but it's apparently not a concern now. The 29-year-old will get a fairly solid matchup, but he's still a risky play since he's allowed three or more goals three of his last six outings while posting a 2-4-0 record in that span.

Gibson (undisclosed) accompanied the Ducks to Nashville ahead of Tuesday's game, Lisa Dillman of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson left Sunday's game versus Seattle in the third period and was not able to return. It is a good sign that he was able to travel, even though his availability for Tuesday's contest remains unclear at this time.

Gibson (undisclosed) left Sunday's game versus the Kraken in the third period, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson was injured as his own defenseman crashed into him while attempting to defend the Kraken's fifth goal. Gibson immediately left the game and was replaced by Anthony Stolarz, who made six saves without allowing a goal to close out a 5-4 loss. If Gibson is out for any length of time, Stolarz figures to immediately see a large boost in playing time. More information on Gibson's status should be available prior to Tuesday's scheduled game in Nashville. He allowed five goals on 19 shots and took the loss in this contest.
